Goo posted:Whether we're actually working on anything or not, I'm strictly forbidden from discussing products that do not appear (or have not appeared in the past) on our website. Can you say anything about SetPoint development? Namely, if there's any going on beyond hotfixing stuff? Because while it's pretty drat good on features now, I feel that it still needs a fair bit of work on the usability front. Most tasks require about four mouse clicks more than they should, and 'reading' your configuration is also a bit of a pain.

I was reading a review of those R.A.T. mice and I learnt something interesting:quote:You also get an awesome precision aim button that can be set to slow the DPI settings down for making headshots almost too easy. This seems like a much better way for changing DPI on-the-fly, at least the way I normally use it (sniper rifle - zoom - DPI down - shoot - DPI up - change weapon or aim elsewhere - repeat). Has anyone got any idea to make, say, a G500's thumb button behave this way (i.e. decrease the DPI only while it's pressed)? The SetPoint macro software doesn't seem to record the pressing of the DPI buttons, and I can't find a way to emulate them with Autohotkey or some such (you can control the Windows cursor speed, but that won't affect many games).

Goo posted:This is not possible with SetPoint, so it's probably not possible with the G500. I say "probably" because I don't know what third-party software stuff can do. Thanks for the information. If newer gaming mice rely on this "gaming keyboard software", is it possible that its future versions will be able to handle older G-series mice as well?

BAILOUT MCQUACK! posted:I got a m510 mouse through newegg the other day and I'm pretty sure it was just broken out of the box. The signal just won't stop hiccuping. This is for clicking and scrolling so I know its not just the laser not picking up. So I'm thinking of just sending it back for a full refund and or asking logitech to replace it with something better. Ideas? For $8 you can upgrade to a Marathon MX, you get a more ergonomic shape and the orgasm wheel.

Tedronai66 posted:So I got my G700 mouse yesterday. It's nice, but I'm about to throw it through a motherfucking window. I'm not quite sure what you've got going on, but perhaps you've accidentally stored the hosed-up profile in the mouse hardware? The higher G-series mice can do that so that the profile will work on other computers without drivers. If so, you should look for that option and put the default profile back on the mouse's onboard chip.

lordfrikk posted:I've been using Steelseries Qck for two years now and it looks pretty much the same as on the day it arrived, I just wash it under water once in a while. For about $13 it was a steal, IMO. I have the same setup (except it's a Qck Mass because I have a lovely uneven table) and it's been working perfectly for half a year now. I wouldn't describe it as "gliding" though, there is definitely a noticeable attrition between the cloth and the mouse - which suits me just fine since I like a heavier feel (I near-maxed the G500 weights too), but it might not be what Tab8715 wants if he's looking for 'slickness'.

Not really, you only need one if your table doesn't agree with your mouse (or with your wrist, but in that case a small wrist pillow is much better). If both work fine, more power to you.

Follow the asterisk: quote:* Some profile settings require Logitech® Gaming Software to be enabled and are not supported on Linux® and earlier Windows®-based operating systems. Logitech® Gaming Software is available at logitech.com/support-downloads/software So yeah. BTW, isn't it a little odd that an ostensibly symmetrical, ambidextrous mouse has an off-centre sensor at the bottom? I hope the software is programmed to account for that, otherwise it should handle weirdly for left-handed users.

LoKout posted:Why would it handle weirdly? It doesn't move around on the bottom of the mouse, so it's always a fixed position and therefor will always report movement exactly the same, no matter where it is on the bottom of the mouse. You don't move the sensor to a specific spot to match a spot on the screen. It can depend on your grip, but many mouse movements don't consist of simply translating the mouse on the mousepad (in which case they would indeed be independent of the sensor's position). Rather, you partially pivot the mouse around your palm or your wrist, thus changing the mouse's orientation in the process; in which case you'll get very different results depending on the mouse's position. For example, my G500's sensor is positioned near the top (about the same height as the scroll wheel), so if I want to move the cursor quickly from left to right I can just keep my wrist still and rotate the mouse. Had the sensor been placed further down, the same movement would result in a much shorter cursor travel. Having the sensor be off-centre on the X axis has a similar effect. People exert more control on their mouse through their thumbs than they do through their pinkie/ring finger; so if the sensor is closer to the thumb, when performing those partial rotations the mouse will feel more reactive, but if it's on the opposite side it will feel slower. e:fb'd with a thousand words

For Loop posted:Honestly, toggle resiliency aside, I don't ever want a mouse WITHOUT a scroll wheel. I even brought my G9x into work so I didn't have to suffer a lovely scroll wheel on the stock dell mice. I do work with databases and use excel heavily, so I use the poo poo out of the free-scroll. I am probably one of the people the wheel was designed for, but god drat, I don't get how people don't find this supremely awesome.  Probably doesn't apply to most goons, but I suspect this may otherwise be a frequent reason.

Copper Vein posted:Since we're talking Xai right now I thought I'd mention that the wheel can be clicked by sweeping it to the right with your finger. Some folk might like this since it's faster than clicking from above. The Ikari's I have do this too. Isn't that strictly worse than just having a tilt wheel, since you can get the same thing by rebinding WheelRight to act as a middle click? Also holy poo poo, CV, do you buy every single gaming mouse that comes out? In multiple units ("Ikari's")? I thought you were a reviewer for some hardware site or such, but if you're actually collecting them out of your own pocket that's...

Gyshall posted:What are my best options for a mobile mouse for my laptop? I literally have only ever used Logitech Gamer series mice, and I'm looking for something portable, cable free, and accurate enough to use on many surfaces, etc. The Anywhere Mouse MX fits your definition pretty much perfectly. Small, comes with a pouch, micro-receiver that stays in your laptop (or you can store it in the mouse), Darkfield tracking that works on anything (you do pay a price in battery life though), and most of the features you probably got used to with gaming mice (hyperwheel with tilt, thumb buttons).

Logitech's software definitely lets you assign the horizontal scrolling as middle clicks. I'm also pretty sure that most Razer mice don't have horizontal scrolling at all. Google "Razer [modelname] horizontal scrolling" and you'll find the answer within the first page.

Dead posted:I've bought and returned about 3 mice (including the g700, which I had high hopes for) since my MX1000 started to die a year or so ago. I cannot express how frustrated I am that no new mouse is as good as this mouse as old as it is. I thought the G8-G10 keys would be a suitable replacement for the up and down keys next to the mouse wheel, but they're just...bad for frequent use as a popular keybind. The G400 has two buttons in the same position as the MX1000's, did you try that? You give up on one thumb button and it lacks the hyperwheel of other mice, but if it's a dealbreaker it's a dealbreaker.

Try binding the G500's third thumb button to middle click. You'll get used to it in an hour, and it's both really light and well placed.

Side-scrolling wheels are the best 6th-7th mouse buttons ever. I never ever use them for lateral scrolling. In related news, everyone who hates middle-clicking on a G500 or similar should try using the right tilt instead. It's a LOT faster, particularly for games (where you aren't missing out on Ctrl-Tab or whatnot).

The only way to be 100% sure of your ergonomics preferences is to try the mouse. Either go to a physical shop that lets you try them (in most of Europe MediaMarkt does), or be willing to return it if you buy online and make the wrong choice. I'd look at the G9/G9x first, because if the M510 is only a "hair" smaller than you like then the G500 may be too big for you (then again, I was more of a claw than a palm gripper and I still love the G500). The G500 does have the whole left-button-higher-than-right-one though. There's also the M500 which is a nice middle option if you don't need extra buttons or crazy sensitivities.

I think the G500 is unfortunately the biggest mouse currently in production. I tried a G700 once and it wasn't bigger, although it felt a little taller. You could try looking for a MX1100, it's more recent than the MX Revolution so you should have better luck (also it doesn't have any of the issues of the Rev), and it was quite bulky. Fake edit: I actually found a comparison picture:  Real edit: I found several on eBay for 40-60€. There's a German guy with an auction ending in 18 hours for a used one, you might be able to score a nice price. NihilCredo fucked around with this message at 00:26 on Jan 29, 2012 |
